Happy new year (at the end of February) from me at the Writing Women Pod! This time I cover falling in love, the perils of being adored by a crowd and by the one you love all in this incredibly beautiful, favourite read of 2022, The Giant Dark by Sarvat Hasin.
For my final episode of the year, I wanted to return to a poet who has obsessed, confounded and finally been settled by me throughout my young adolscence and into my academic years, Sylvia Plath.
It's been quite an inaugural year for the Writing Women Podcast and I have loved every second of it. Thank you for coming along for the journey and may there be many more episodes and books to come!
